Finsbury Square to Lever Street cycle routes
Dear Islington Borough Council,
In March 2016 you consulted on a variety of cycling improvements near Finsbury Square and Lever street. The consultation results were unanimously in favour of the improvements, and you stated "we have been developing designs for these routes and are now ready to move into implementation of the works on the Finsbury Square to Lever Street route." (https://www.islington.gov.uk/~/media/sha...)
This was almost 2 years ago now, and as far as I am aware no improvements have been made in at least the Finsbury square area. For the following list of improvements (taken directly from the consultation report), please could you let me know
1. If the works have been completed, and if not whether the improvements have been cancelled, put on hold, or are ongoing.
2. If the works are on hold or ongoing, please could you provide an estimated completion date.
Lever Street - Two-way cycling, providing a westbound cycle lane
Junction Bath Street/Lever Street - Kerbside build-out to protect cyclists turning into
contraflow cycle lane. Loss of one car parking space and the provision of parking facilities
for six bicycles.
Bath Street through to Bunhill Row - Refreshing existing road markings to better define
the cycle route
Bunhill Row - Clearly marked contra-flow cycle lane which will help cycle safety by
making it clearer that cyclists are using this route
Chiswell Street - Introduction of advisory cycle lanes in both directions and removal of
parking bays
Chiswell Street/Finsbury Square junction - separate traffic light phases for cyclists
Finsbury Square - Two-way segregated cycle lanes
Sun Street/Wilson Street junction - Two-way segregated cycle lane
Yours faithfully,
David Stansby
